Javon Walton Mourns Death of Euphoria Brother Angus Cloud

The Euphoria family is mourning the loss of Angus Cloud.

Stars paid tribute to the actor, who rose to fame as Fezco on the HBO drama, following his death at his family’s home in Oakland, Calif. He was 25.

Prior to his passing, Cloud had “intensely struggled” with the death of his father, who he buried last week, his family told E! News. Cloud’s cause of death has not been shared.

“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” his family said in a statement July 31. “As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”

Javon Walton, who played Cloud’s adoptive little brother Ashtray on Euphoria, reacted to his costar’s tragic death by sharing a picture of him hugging Cloud, writing, “rest easy brother.” On his July 31 Instagram Story, Walton captioned an image of him and Cloud embracing, “forever family.”

While sharing a clip of Cloud’s character Fezco singing to “Stand By Me” with Maude Apatow‘s Lexi, Storm Reid wrote on her Instagram Stories, “the tears just won’t stop.”

R.I.P. Angus Cloud, Euphoria actor

Angus Cloud, best known for his role as Fezco on Euphoria, has died. As confirmed by relatives to TMZ, Cloud died at his family’s home in Oakland, California. He was 25.

“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” Cloud’s family said in a statement. “As an artist, a friend, a brother, and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”

“Last week, he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health, and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence.”

Born on July 10, 1998, Cloud grew up in Oakland, California. The eldest of four, he attended the Oakland School for the Arts, the same high school as Zendaya, where he focused on theater tech. Cloud isn’t a trained actor by any stretch. Plucked off the street by a casting scout, who spotted him in Manhattan, Cloud found himself reading for the role of Fezco “Fez” O’Neill on HBO’s Euphoria. It was his first screen credit, and he almost missed the opportunity. “I was confused, and I didn’t want to give her my phone number,” he told GQ in 2019. “I thought it was a scam.”

Before Euphoria, Cloud moved to New York on a whim, where he worked at a “chicken and waffles joint” in Brooklyn. After two auditions for the show, he proudly called his boss to tell him he wouldn’t be in “today, tomorrow, or ever again.” The next thing he knew, he was on a first-class trip back to California, spending the entire ride “trying to learn how to act on the plane over there.”

Cloud’s ease on screen, playing the soft-spoken, drug-dealing best friend of Zendaya’s Rue, made him a fan favorite. Since Euphoria’s first season, Cloud starred in his first feature, a skateboarding drama, North Hollywood, starring Vince Vaughn and Miranda Cosgrove. He also appeared in music videos for Noah Cyrus and Juice WRLD.

Though Cloud’s personality and slow drawl led some to believe that he was just himself on screen, a criticism he took to heart.

“It does bother me,” Cloud told Variety, “when people are like, ‘It must be so easy! You get to go in and be yourself.’ I’m like, ‘Why don’t you go and do that?’ It’s not that simple. I brought a lot to the character. You can believe what you want. It ain’t got nothing to do with me.”

Angus Cloud’s Dad Died One Week Before the Euphoria Actor

Angus Cloud was mourning the loss of his father at the time of his death.

The Euphoria actor, who portrayed Fezco for the first two seasons of HBO series, recently passed away at his family’s home in Oakland, Calif., just days after saying goodbye to his dad.

“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” his loved ones shared in a July 31 statement to E! News. “As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”

“Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss,” the statement continued. “The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend.”

As his family noted in their statement, Angus—who turned 25 years old on July 11—was very open about his mental health battle over the years. “We hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone,” they added, “and should not fight this on their own in silence.”

Jigsaw is back, again, in the gruesome trailer for Saw X

Saw X
Saw X
Screenshot: YouTube

It’s been 17 years since Saw III, the Saw movie where Tobin Bell’s Jigsaw dies by having his throat slashed with a power saw, but Jigsaw being Jigsaw, he knew that would happen and planned out a bunch of other twisted games for his victims to play if he died. Also, every movie after Saw III—save for the spin-off Spiral, which is now canonically Saw 9—has engaged in rampant flashback shenanigans, allowing Bell to keep appearing in these movies long after his death. Now, with Saw X coming later this year, director Kevin Greutert (who previously directed Saw VI and Saw 3D) is doing a full-on prequel that takes place between the events of the first two Saw movies.

SAW X (2023) Official Trailer – Tobin Bell

Set in Mexico, the movie is about Jigsaw seeking out some kind of revolutionary new treatment for the brain tumor that is slowly killing him over the course of the series (though, again, he eventually dies from having his throat slashed), but when it turns out to be a scam, he kidnaps everyone involved and… you know, does the thing he always does. He puts them through a series of gruesome tests to determine whether or not they’d rather hurt themselves in a gross way or die in a gross way.

And while Bell is now nearly 20 years older in real life than the character he’s playing here, Jigsaw doesn’t seem to have lost a step, because these gruesome tests are pretty freakin’ gruesome! They all appear to be surgery themed, not that they ever aren’t, with one apparently involving a woman cutting off her legs, one with a guy using a drill to remove a sufficient amount of brain matter from his head, and another where someone has to individually break all of their fingers before their eyes are sucked out of their head. Fun!

Tristan Thompson Shares Pics With Son Tatum on His First Birthday

Tatum Thompson has made his debut on his dad Tristan Thompson‘s Instagram.

The NBA player shared photos of his and ex Khloe Kardashian‘s son for his first time on social media while paying tribute to him for his first birthday July 28. Tristan is seen smiling while holding Tatum, with both wearing sunglasses. In one pic, they look directly at each other as the toddler reaches around his dad’s face.

“Tatum!!” Tristan wrote. “Happy birthday my son! You are a reminder of what life represents to me. You have taught me every loss comes a lesson and you are my gift. You are my reminder of all of God’s messages. You are the reason that I began my story.”

The basketball player continued, “The mistakes along the way are lessons not failures. There is no expiration date to reinventing yourself. Tatum your sweet soul reminds me of God’s grace. You are a future king my son and I am so blessed to be your DaDa!”

Neelam Kaur Gill Reveals the Truth About Leonardo DiCaprio Rumors

From being spotted together in France during Paris Fashion Week to attending an event at Casa Cipriani in NYC for New York Fashion Week—and even celebrating this year’s Met Gala at the same NoHo after party—the two do seem to be spending lots of time together. 

Most recently, the duo were seen at the same London eatery in June. And to make the encounter that much more significant, who were the other attendees? None other than Leo’s parents George DiCaprio and Irmelin Indenbirken

But despite the meet-the-parents implication, a source told E! News at the time that the two were actually attending a group event hosted by Vogue editor Edward Enninful for about 20 people at London’s Chiltern Firehouse. According to the insider, Gigi and Leonardo did not sit with each other or leave together.

So, what’s the vibe between them?

In November 2022, a separate insider told E! News, “Gigi and Leo are having a lot of fun right now. They have been trying to stay low-key and private and she has been enjoying the time they have been spending together.”

Khloe Kardashian Details Son Tatum’s Out of This World Birthday Party

Khloe Kardashian‘s birthday party for her and ex Tristan Thompson‘s son Tatum was out of this world.

The Kardashians star went all out for her baby boy’s first birthday, decking out her home in multicolored balloons for space-themed festivities.

Clad in dark sunglasses and a white corset top, the Good American founder shared images of adorable astronaut cut-outs placed around her home, as well as fun-sized space helmets, on her Instagram Stories July 28.

“Prepare for takeoff, how cute,” Khloe wrote of the accessories, which were adorned with Tatum’s name. “These are little space helmets that the kids can take home.”

Other decorations included balloons shaped like the solar system, rockets on chairs, a play-dough station with figurines and a slime station because, as Khloe noted, “a party is not a party without our little artistry of slime.”

As for what’s on the menu at Tatum’s celestial celebration, Khloe showed a three-tiered cake with an astronaut centerpiece, mouthwatering doughnuts and cupcakes, and star-shaped French fries by their longtime private cook Chef K.

Carlee Russell’s Mug Shot Released After Arrest for Kidnapping Hoax

She initially alleged that she was taken by a man and woman, who forced her into a car when she approached the child and held her captive, according to Hoover police. Authorities said Russell claimed she managed to escape when her purposted kidnappers were taking her through the west Hoover area, and that she ran through the woods until finding her way back home.

However, authorities were “unable to verify” most of what Russell told them during their investigation into her disappearance, Derzis said in a July 19 press conference. But, according to Derzis, they did find internet searches made on Russell’s phone that were “very relevant” to her case, including queries about Amber Alerts and the 2008 film Taken, a Liam Neeson movie about an abduction.

“As you can see,” Derzis said at the time, “there are many questions left to be answered, but only Carlee can provide those answers.”

Triplets Who Reunited After Being Placed Up for Adoption Speak Out

But when they finally did meet? “We walked in and saw each other and ran up and gave each other the biggest hugs,” Kendall added. “And it was like we’d known each other forever.” 

And for Rikki, who was raised as an only child, she said it was an especially moving encounter: “It was a lot like a puzzle piece sliding into place.”

These days the sisters, now 32, live only minutes away from each other in Austin, Texas, and are only growing closer. In fact, they even host a podcast together which they’ve playfully titled, Luke, Who Is Your Father.

And they’re grateful for the bond they’ve developed as a trio, with an emotional Julianne noting, “They are just the most important people to me.”

As Kendall put it: “Being able to cultivate this really unique relationship has just been the best thing we all could have done.”

Rauw Alejandro Denies “Erroneous” Cheating Rumors After Rosalía Split

R&R have gone their separate ways.

While confirming that he and Rosalía have broken up and ended their engagement, Rauw Alejandro fired back at cheating allegations surrounding their split.

“Yes, a few months ago Rosi and I ended our engagement,” he wrote in Spanish on Instagram Stories July 26. “There are thousands of problems that could cause a breakup, but in our case it was not due to third parties or infidelity.”

As for why he decided to speak up, Rauw explained that he didn’t want cheating rumors to smear his two-year romance with the “Despechá” singer.

“During the space that I am taking to assimilate all of this, erroneous public allegations have emerged,” the 30-year-old added, “and out of the respect I have for her, our families and all that we lived through, I could not stay silent and continue to watch how they try to destroy the story of the most real love that God has permitted me to live.”

Doja Cat Argues With Fans After Dissing Their Kittenz Fandom Name

Doja Cat‘s claws are out.

The “Say So” singer didn’t hold back when she called out her own fandom over its name, writing on Threads over the weekend, “my fans don’t name themselves s–t.”

“If you call yourself a ‘Kitten’ or f–king ‘Kittenz’ that means,” she continued, as seen in screenshots circulating on social media, “you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.”

And when her scathing comment drew ire, Doja Cat doubled down on her stance against the fandom name. After a fan site asked “what should i change my name to since you dont like the term kitten,” the 27-year-old replied, “just delete the entire account and rethink everything.”

Doja Cat also had some heated words when a fan asked her to reassure the fandom that she still loves them. “I wanna hear you say (I do love you guys) As usual you say to your fans,” the fan wrote, prompting the Grammy winner to bluntly reply, “i don’t though cuz i don’t even know y’all.”

Dwayne Johnson makes “major, historic” donation to help actors during SAG-AFTRA strike

We heard just last week that Dwayne Johnson is apparently getting $50 million to star in the upcoming Prime Video holiday movie Red One, which would be the biggest paycheck an actor has ever gotten for a single production—not counting any bonuses—and would also solidify Johnson’s regular position at the top of the list of highest-paid actors in any given year (not counting the year George Clooney topped the list by selling his tequila company). But The Rock isn’t just sitting on his gold and jewels like a dragon in a fantasy novel, waiting for some adventurer to come in and haul off his treasure hoard. No, he’s actually doing at least one nice thing with it!

According to Courtney B. Vance, head of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation (a non-profit organization that is not officially part of the union but, among other things, helps SAG-AFTRA members with financial relief during hard times), Johnson made a “major, historic” donation to the foundation’s Emergency Financial Assistance Program right after the strike was called. How major and how historic? Well, nobody will say the specific number, but it’s in the seven figures, and foundation executive director Cyd Wilson says it’s the “largest single donation” they’ve ever received from one person at one time. So it’s pretty major and pretty historic.

Wilson also told Variety that Johnson’s donation will help “thousands of actors keep food on their table, and keep their kids safe, and keep their cars running,” explaining that most SAG-AFTRA members don’t even get paid enough acting to cover health insurance and have to work second or third jobs to pay their bills, so big donations like this during the strike can help them avoid “financial ruin.” Wilson also noted that it’s “not lost” on him that Johnson is being “very humble about this,” and that is worth pointing out.

The man is a former wrestler and has always been a proud self-promoter, so it’s nice that he did this good thing for striking actors just for the sake of doing a good thing (the SAG-AFTRA Foundation also hopes that this will inspire other rich actors to open their wallets, which would be good). Plus, we can all probably agree that we’ve been a little tired of seeing this guy lately, since Dave Bautista is a better wrestler-turned-actor and John Cena tends to be a funnier wrestler-turned-actor, but this could go a long way in making us like him again. Not far enough for us to reappraise Black Adam, but far enough that we might be a little more excited to see him in a Fast And Furious movie again.

Bow down to Prince George‘s latest milestone.

After all, Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s oldest child is officially reaching double digits, turning 10 on July 22. In honor of the occasion, Kensington Palace released a new birthday portrait on July 21.

Less than two weeks later, the royal family honored her at a state funeral, where George and Charlotte were the youngest mourners following her coffin during the procession, walking behind their parents.

George later served as one of King Charleseight Pages of Honour during the new monarch’s May coronation. In fact, George made history as the first future king to assume a role during a royal coronation.
